| Summary: | Time, literally, is of the essence. It is a key feature in all cultures, determining human thought, expectations, actions and developments. The great master of time studies, J.T. Fraser, describes it in terms of six major temporalities that move at different speeds in unique environments. Matching the evolution of the universe, they include the atemporal or timeless state of primordial chaos, the prototemporal realm of quantum simultaneity, the eotemporal long-term rhythms of the stars, the biotemporal dimensions of living creatures, the noötemporal phenomena of brain and mind and the sociotemporal world of clocks and calendars, history and society, analysis and philosophy. |
